10 Actors Who Were Removed From TV Shows In 2021
3. Ingo Rademacher - General Hospital
Ingo Rademacher was also fired from General hospital for refusing to comply with the vaccine mandate. His parting has been more acrimonious than Steve Burton’s, however. The actor has sued ABC for religious discrimination.
Rademacher had played Jasper Jacks for 25 years before being fired in November. He refused the vaccine on religious grounds, which he says ABC refused to recognize. His character left the fictional city in which General Hospital is set in a November 22 episode where he said goodbye to the other characters.
The actor has gone kicking and screaming, hence the quick decision to hit his former network with a lawsuit. Among Rademacher's lawyers though is Robert F. Kennedy Jr, nephew of JFK and a leading proponent of the debunked conspiracy theory linking vaccines to autism.
